“Auto-Clean” Function for Automatically Organizing Overlapping Nodes in Mind Maps
maru
Hello ClickUp Team,
I use ClickUp’s Mind Map feature daily to organize project concepts and brainstorm ideas.
It’s a fantastic and intuitive tool, but as the number of nodes increases, I’ve encountered a challenge.
When the map grows, the nodes and lines start to overlap, making the entire structure cluttered and harder to read.
Once there are more than about 10 nodes, connection lines cross over each other and text overlaps, forcing me to spend more time manually adjusting layouts instead of focusing on the ideas themselves.
That’s why I’d love to request an “Auto-Clean” feature.
This feature would automatically adjust node spacing and line placement to
minimize overlaps and keep the map visually clear
. For example, tools like XMind or Miro automatically optimize spacing when new nodes are added — if ClickUp introduced a similar function, it would make expanding mind maps much smoother and more efficient.
In my own experience, I’ve been building a “Product Development Concept Map” within ClickUp, collaborating live with about 3 team members.
As the map grows, manually rearranging nodes becomes a time-consuming task, making it difficult to focus on content review.
If the “Auto-Clean” feature existed, it would drastically reduce layout management time and allow me to focus purely on creative and structural thinking.
ClickUp is truly the best all-in-one platform for both project management and idea development.
I deeply appreciate the development team for continuously evolving the product with such user-centric innovation.
Thank you for this amazing tool — I’ll continue to be a passionate supporter of ClickUp!
